[QUOTE="flashhole, post: 863672, member: 21375"] I use my scale for load development with the Don Newberry Optimal Charge Weight method and then switch to Dipper Cups. Some are custom made cups but most are from the Lee set. A scale is one thing you don't want to cheap out on. My scale is the RCBS dial type balance beam made by Ohaus for RCBS. They quit making it years ago, I got lucky and found one on eBay. Powder measures are great if you take the time to learn its quirks to get it to operate correctly. I have the Redding 3BR. Great product and I recommend it if you plan on doing volume rifle reloading for cartridges with a medium to large case. The hand tools you select/use for case prep will define your reloading technique. Buy durable stuff. I like the Lee Case Length Gage and the Lee 3-Jaw Chuck for case trimming. I have gages for all 7 cartridges I load for. The chuck will fit in a drill or you can use it by hand. I have a short 1/4" nut driver I use with the chuck if trimming by hand. I like the Lyman large deburring tool, easy on the hands. I like the RCBS Bench Mount Primer, the one that does one at a time, for priming cases. I also have the RCBS hand held priming tool. Both are great. I'm not a big fan of priming on the press. I like the EJS primer pocket uniformers and primer hole deburring tools. I like the Baby Crockogator primer pocket cleaner tool. I like the Lyman model 2200 brass cleaner with walnut medium. It's all a matter of personal choice. Some will not like my choices and recommend something else. You have to figure out your style and technique to see what works best for you. [/QUOTE]
